The ancient return was exposed by his sister's live stream.

A light shimmering in pale blue—that is the Way of Space.

A blue light shines, that is the Way of Water.

One that gleams with golden light is the Way of Fire.

Above the arch, there are three dimly lit recesses.

Metal, Wood, Earth.

Chen Hao stared at the three empty slots for a few seconds.

This is a passage left behind when the immortal cultivation civilization migrated collectively back then.

The ancient civilization of cultivation departed from here. Back then, spiritual energy was depleted, and Earth could no longer support high-level cultivators, so Yuanshi proposed a migration plan!

Find a magical world with abundant spiritual energy and move the entire cultivation civilization there.

At that time, the cultivation civilization had six beings at the Refining Void and Harmonizing Dao realm, each mastering one of the six Great Daos: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, and Space. Together, they unleashed their laws to open this portal spanning the endless galaxy.

Then millions of cultivators traveled to the other world in batches through the portal.

Only Chen Hao and a few other races remained, guarding the desolate Nine Provinces.

To activate it, six great paths are needed—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—plus space.

It was only by his combined efforts with five other cultivators who had reached the Void Refinement and Dao Integration Realm that it was opened.

But now...

He was all alone.

That would require one person to master all six major paths.

He now has three.

Three more are needed.

Metal, Wood, Earth.

Chen Hao remained silent for a moment, then turned and walked down the mountain.

He took only two steps before stopping again.

correct.

still have a question.

Locating anchor points.

Back then, they used the Eastern Emperor Bell of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. That divine weapon was said to be the natal artifact of the founder of the Chan Sect, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi. That artifact could pinpoint the exact coordinates of another world.

However, the Eastern Emperor Bell had already been taken away by Yuanshi.

We need to find new things from another world.

With a thought, Chen Hao vanished once more.

The Secret Realm of Yaochi.

Chen Hao appeared by the Jade Pool.

The pool water was crystal clear, exuding a faint spiritual aura. The bottom of the pool was paved with white jade, and each piece of jade was engraved with intricate array patterns.

But Chen Hao didn't look at the pool water.

His gaze fell on a mirror floating above the pool.

Kunlun Mirror.

Wang Yao's special artifact.

Chen Hao raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and the Kunlun Mirror flew into his palm.

The mirror is bronze in color, its surface covered with the mottled marks left by time. But the reflection in the mirror is exceptionally clear, even clearer than the real scene.

He put the Kunlun Mirror into his Qiankun Bag and turned to leave Yaochi.

Next stop, the summit of Kunlun Mountain.

Chen Hao returned to the huge platform and stood in front of the dim archway.

He took out the Kunlun Mirror from his Qiankun Bag and infused it with the power of laws.

The mirror surface is now shiny.

A bronze-colored light spilled from the mirror, forming a pillar of light in the air that shot straight toward the center of the archway.

The moment the beam of light touched the archway, the patterns of its laws began to flicker.

But it only flashed twice before going dark.

no response.

Chen Hao frowned.

Not my destined artifact?

He put away the Kunlun Mirror and pondered for a moment.

If the Kunlun mirror doesn't work...

Chen Hao suddenly remembered something.

He took out a jade pendant from his Qiankun bag.

Yu Sheng.

It was given to him by Wang Yao back then.

Chen Hao took the jade ornament in his hand and examined it carefully.

The jade is warm and lustrous, with a light blue color throughout, and is carved with cloud patterns and phoenix designs.

It looks like an ordinary jade pendant.

but...

Chen Hao infused it with the power of the laws.

Yu Sheng instantly burst forth with dazzling light.

It wasn't bronze-colored, but pure white with a hint of golden luster.

The light was more than ten times stronger than that from the Kunlun Mirror.

Chen Hao had a sudden thought and sent Yu Sheng into the center of the archway.

Yu Sheng floated inside the archway, white light surging from its body, transforming into countless fine threads that spread outward along the laws and patterns of the archway.

The texture is now visible.

One after another, they climbed up from the bottom of the archway, covering the entire door frame like vines.

Chen Hao closed his eyes, and his divine sense extended out along those threads of light.

Pass through the archway.

Passing through the void.

Traversing the endless sea of ​​stars...

Then...

He sensed it.

An anchor point.

In a very distant place, there is a faint aura that originates from the same source as Yu Sheng.

This is Wang Yao's natal magic weapon.

found it.

Chen Hao opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips.

But the smile quickly froze.

Because he discovered a problem.

Although the anchor point has been located, the spatial passage cannot be opened at that location.

It's not that the distance is too far.

This spatial passage can already traverse galaxies; distance is not an issue.

The problem is...

The location of the anchor point is in a state of chaos.

It's like being blocked by a thick fog; you can see it, but you can't get through.

Is it a secret realm?

Or is it some kind of special space?

Chen Hao frowned and tried several times, but he was unable to locate the connection channel.

He withdrew his divine sense and took the jade pendant out of the archway.

Looks like we need to change our anchor point.

or...

Search for artifacts from other worlds; there should still be divine artifacts left behind by various sects or races on Earth. Alternatively, explore the various secret realms.

Chen Hao stood on the platform for a moment, then his figure flashed and disappeared, returning to Pengcheng first.

Baotian City, living room.

A spatial rift tore open in the center of the living room, and Chen Hao walked out from inside.

Chen Siyao and Yang Wanqing were both there.

The moment they saw Chen Hao, their expressions changed.

"Brother..." Chen Siyao was the first to stand up and walk quickly over. "Are you injured?"

Chen Hao's face was very pale.

It wasn't just ordinary paleness; it was the kind of paleness that comes from excessive blood loss, where even the lips have almost no color.

Bloodstains were still on his clothes.

"Master!" Yang Wanqing rushed over, "What's wrong with you? What's outside the solar system?"

Chen Hao waved his hand.

"It's nothing. The foundation is cracked, it'll heal in a few days."

"You call it nothing when the foundation is cracked?!" Yang Wanqing's voice rose eight octaves. "Master, you..."

"Sit down and talk," Chen Siyao interrupted her, helping Chen Hao sit down on the sofa. "Brother, what exactly happened?"

Chen Hao was silent for a few seconds, then recounted everything he had seen at the edge of the solar system.

Black miasma.

Silk threads of the Great Way.

An endless web of laws.

besides...

That eye.

By the end, the living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Yang Wanqing opened his mouth, unable to speak for a long time.

Chen Siyao's face also turned pale.

"Brother, you mean—" Chen Siyao's voice trembled slightly, "the entire solar system is being devoured by... a gigantic gold-devouring beast?"

"It's not just the Gold-Eating Beast," Chen Hao shook his head, "it's some kind of higher-level existence."

"Then..." Yang Wanqing swallowed hard, "What do we do?"

Chen Hao looked at her.

"Learn from the ancient cultivation civilization. Migrate."

"Relocate?" Yang Wanqing was taken aback. "Relocate to where?"

"Another world".

Chen Siyao realized what was happening: "Brother, you mean—when the ancient cultivation civilization left Earth, they didn't go to Jupiter, but to another world?"

"right."

"So now..." Chen Siyao paused, "Now all you need to do is refine the three Great Daos of Metal, Wood, and Earth to open the passage?"

Chen Hao nodded. "And the location anchor point in another world."

Chen Siyao's hand twitched. She looked down at her clothes, at the feathered robe. It was a garment woven from the wings of the Jingwei bird, which she had worn for many years without ever changing it.
